Welcome to Windows 7 Forums. Our forum is dedicated to helping you find support and solutions for any problems regarding your Windows 7 PC be it Dell, HP, Acer, Asus or a custom build. We also provide an extensive Windows 7 tutorial section that covers a wide range of tips and tricks.

1) install (pretty obvious)
2) Define Storage Pool --this is where your VM's will be -- can be over several directories including network drives

3) create / install vm's

5) you can start these manually or have them start as "services" from system boot -- a great advantage since the VM's can be started without anybody having to be logged on to the host machine - and they can be accessed remotely from the network / internet. If you use something like "NO-IP" or Dynamic DNS you can access the VM's without needing things like RDP.

6) you access them via the "Vmware Console" - this is (unfortunately) a web based interface done via a browser.

7) don't worry about the IP addresses of the Virtual machines whether NAT / Bridging -- the vmware virtual network adapters will take care of that.

If you want to use the REAL network adapters to assign specific IP addresses to your VM's it's a bit more tricky -- you'll need to do more research here - but I suggest you get the basic functionality working first.

The only disadvantage with vmware server is that it yet doesn't support 3D or some other improvements made in the "virtual Graphics adapter" that vmware player and workstation have done - so W7 virtual machines won't be able to use Aero.

For XP etc VM's this doesn't matter - for me using the VM's as "services" on the host is far more important.

McAfee or Trend MicroMy last AV has expired and as a temporary fix, I installed Trend Micro Titanium on my PC. I was wondering which would be the best paid version to go with - Trend Micro Titanium 2011 or McAfee 2011?
